Anas Marwah and Asala Maleh have built an audience of more than 65 million followers through family YouTube vlogs
Speaking with PEOPLE ahead of their sold-out live show at the Prudential Center in Newark, the pair open up about how authenticity has contributed to their longevity online
They also share how they protect their family life, including their two children, Mila and Noah, online
When Anas Marwah and Asala Maleh look back on their careers at age 70, they don't want to have any regrets.

The content creators, who are also married with two children, can trace the origins of their relationship right alongside the origins of their wildly successful social media careers. The pair first got their start as individual online creators on the now-defunct social media platform Vine, then met on Snapchat and began their now years-long journey to build their own social media empire.

Since first connecting and building their careers and family together, the pair's online reach has spiraled. They're best known for their family YouTube vlogs, which they create with a core mission of making "screen time family time again." Despite their over 65 million followers, the pair are adamant they don't want to lose the magic that helped them build their platform.

"Authenticity is probably our number one thing," says Anas, 34. This pursuit of making sure all their content is authentic has allowed them to understand what their audience wants for so long — and to deliver on it each and every day. Most recently, the pair have decided to translate the lovable excitement of their YouTube vlogs into their first-ever live show: "The Anazala Family Live," which will see the couple take over the Prudential Center in Newark. A testament to the pair's loyal audience: the event sold out in just 25 minutes.

On September 18, Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU) announced it will sell every share it holds in Alexforbes, a company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Two buyers are splitting the stake. Alexforbes will repurchase roughly 372.8 million shares itself, and ARC AF Holdings will take about 74.1 million more. The package is worth about $185 million, a small number for a company managing $1.642 trillion. But the message matters more than the money. A plan Prudential laid out in August is now turning into signed agreements.
The logic is easy to follow. Prudential wants to operate in fewer places and put its money, people and attention where it thinks it can win for years. Andy Sullivan, the chief executive, says the aim is to lean harder on ***** et management, retirement and protection, and get those units working together more closely. David Legher, who leads emerging markets, called Alexforbes a successful investment, so this reads as a planned exit rather than a retreat from a problem.
The core business is giving management room to be choosy. On August 4, Prudential reported second-quarter net income of $985 million, up from $533 million a year earlier. That happened even though a charge from the yearly ***** umption update grew to $299 million from $134 million, so the underlying engine ran strong enough to absorb a bigger hit. The company also returned $743 million to shareholders in the quarter and held $4.2 billion in highly liquid ***** ets at the parent level. That does not look like a seller in a hurry.
Start with what has not happened yet. The deals are expected to close in the first half of 2027, and they still need Alexforbes shareholders to approve the buyback, along with regulatory sign-off. Until then, $185 million is an agreed price, not cash in the bank. Prudential also said New Veld's involvement continues before completion, so the company stays tied to the ***** et for now.
Then there is the size. Set against those trillions in ***** ets, this sale will not move results either way. Its value is strategic, and strategy takes years to judge. Prudential is giving up a foothold in a partnership it called important, and its remaining businesses have their own snags. Sales in Prudential of ***** an are suspended, and management said that weighed on international results even as earnings held up.

Hello everyone, and welcome back for another week of rankings in the UFC. This weekend was another great card for the UFC, in which we saw Salahdine Parnasse knock out Dan Hooker in under three minutes in the first round.
The next event for the UFC is UFC Fight Night 288 in Glendale, AZ, which features Jean Silva versus Jose Delgado as the main event for NOCHE. This match shouldn't last long, and that sucks for anyone who loves watching both of these fighters.
That being said, let's get to this week's rankings and see who made it. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with you.

Sean Strickland is almost ready.
It has been almost three months since the foul-mouthed Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight champion reclaimed the 185-pound **** le by defeating Khamzat Chimaev in a razor-close split decision at UFC 328 on Sat., May 9, 2026, inside Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
And apparently, fight fans have been bombarding Strickland with the same question:
When is he going to fight again?
Unfortunately, they are going to have to wait a little bit longer.

The Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have set out proposals for a dedicated captive insurance regulatory regime in the UK.
It is part of a wider push to strengthen the country's "competitiveness" in financial services.
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the FCA have opened a consultation on the framework, with responses invited until 14 October 2026.
Captive insurers are entities set up by companies or public bodies to underwrite their own risks, rather than buying cover from the open market.
The regulators indicated that the initiative could support an insurance market worth billions of pounds.

When interest rates were near historical lows, MetLife (NYSE: MET) and Prudential (NYSE: PRU) had a problem. They had made promises about future payments, but miserly interest rates made it more difficult to fulfill them profitably. Now that rates have increased a bit, meeting those policy promises is easier. And if rates rise, well, the story gets even better for MetLife and Prudential.
Which is why the outcome of the last Federal Reserve meeting was so positive for these life insurance companies. Here's what's going on and why a higher-for-longer rate environment sets MetLife and Prudential up for success.

Kevin Warsh was just installed as the new chairman of the Federal Reserve. Prior to his appointment, he was calling for rate cuts, a position that aligned with the President who appointed him. Some Fed watchers were worried that Warsh would simply follow the president's lead when he took over the Fed's top spot. That didn't happen.
Instead, Warsh's first Fed meeting ended without a rate change. But the group appears to be leaning toward raising interest rates to combat rising inflation. That is an ideal backdrop for life insurance companies like MetLife and Prudential.

Khamzat Chimaev made the walk to the octagon inside the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on May 9 as the undefeated middleweight champion of the world. He faced former training partner and former 185-pound ****** leholder Sean Strickland in the UFC 328 main event.
Chimaev entered his first ****** le defense as the betting favorite but left the cage with the first L on his record and without the middleweight belt. Strickland recaptured the championship via split decision. After the loss, "Borz" told UFC CEO Dana White that he would not fight at 185 pounds again and would be moving up to the light heavyweight division. He's since changed his mind.
Recently, Chimaev has been lobbying for an immediate rematch. In a social media post, he accused the champion of running from one.
"Accept the fight, don't run, I'll beat you anyway, The sooner this happens, the easier it will be to breathe SStricklandMMA," Chimaev wrote on X.
Strickland shut down talks of an immediate rematch backstage following the fight. If Chimaev wants a rematch, Strickland believes he should have to earn it.

Former Oklahoma State wrestling national champion Wyatt Hendrickson earned a spot on the USA World Team with a win over Mason Parris in the best-of-three 125-kilogram bout at Final X on Friday night at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Another Cowboy national champ, sophomore-to-be Jax Forrest, pushed his Final X series to the decisive third match, but was defeated by Penn State’s Marcus Blaze for the spot at 61 kg.
Zahid Valencia, who did not wrestle at OSU but is a part of the Cowboy Regional Training Center, also was defeated one win shy of qualifying for the World Team. Kyle Dake defeated Valencia in the decisive match to earn the 86 kg spot.
Hendrickson also earned a spot on Team USA last year, but did not medal at the World Championships.
This year’s World Championships are set for Oct. 24-Nov. 1 in Astana, Kazakhstan.

Marcus Blaze will be going to his first Senior World Championships.
The Penn State wrestling sophomore-to-be gutted out impressive victories over NCAA champ and fellow phenom Jax Forrest on Friday, June 19 at the Final X event in the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Blaze, who finished fourth behind Forrest at the March NCAA Championships, produced brilliant scoring moves toward the end of his first- and third-match victories over Forrest in their 61 kilogram weight class (about 134 pounds).
Blaze won their last bout, 5-2, to make Team USA along with four other Penn State-related wrestlers. The other winners were three-time NCAA champ Zain Retherford at 70 kg, two-time NCAA champ Levi Haines at 79 kg and Nittany Lion Wrestling Club members Kyle Dake (86 kg) and Kyle Snyder (97 kg).
Blaze, a two-time age-group world champ, made the senior world team for the first time. He and the other winners will compete in October's Senior World Championships in Kazakhstan.

This time, Luke Lilledahl couldn't keep pace with his older, stronger rival.
There would be no dramatic save like in April.
Lilledahl, the Penn State wrestling lightweight NCAA champion, gave up big scoring runs near the end of both of his Final X best-of-three series matches to Olympic silver medalist Spencer Lee on Friday, June 19.
Lee pulled away to win both of their matches, even after being down 4-0 to start Round Two, in the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Lee won the first match, 7-1, and the second, 8-4.
The defeats denied the ultra-successful Lilledahl his first shot at making the U.S. Senior World Team and competing in the October world championships in Kazakhstan. He also will surely give away his No. 1 world freestyle ranking at 57 kilograms. He took over that top spot after pulling out a scintillating 5-4 victory over the No. 2 Lee in April's U.S. Open in Las Vegas.
